[ Blood drenched her hands, the black droplets staining everything around them and even with the heart clenching terror filling her, she tried to keep as calm as possible. Lexa needed her steady and in control of their current situation, especially when she needed to keep them safe for the time being. Eyes darting over to the entrance, she moved momentarily to try and blockade them inside. Anyone initiating an attack now would be dangerous for them, nearly fatal.

Lexa never listened when she told her to not become involved.

Returning to the bed, tears stung her eyes as she knelt on it, close enough to Lexa to keep an eye on her but also with enough distance to spring up into action if needed. A paranoid behavior perhaps but things were happening quickly and with so much unease she refused to take any chances. ]

I. am. not. leaving. you. [ The words are fierce and resolute, not leaving any room for any sort of argument on the matter. How could Lexa even think for a moment she would leave her there too weak to defend herself? Sure, Lexa managed incredible feats before but a bullet wound tested anyone, regardless of 'destiny'. ]

[ Slowly, she ran her hand over Lexa's hair, fighting back tears again. ] My people will be fine. We have to worry about us right now. I'm not sure how long we can stay here.

[ But moving Lexa would be too high of a risk and she just needed to make their current situation work somehow. ]

Tell me if you feel hot, Lexa, okay? That's not a good sign.
